why this phint should not he found in other hjcalities. It, presumably, from what 

 is known of its distribution, came into the State from the north and east.* 



Liatris squarrosa Willd. Gibson and Posey counties. Dr. J. Schneck. "Dry 

 soil; rare."^ Another form which is probably of much wider range than preeent 

 reports indicate. 



Chrysops^is villosa, Nutt. Reported from Vigo county by W. S. Blatchley. 

 "Frequent ; banks of old canal, prairies, etc." * This species has evidently entered 

 our territory from the west and may be found in the western tier of counties. 



Solidago squarrom Muhl. Reported from Floyd county in 1837 by Dr. A. 

 Clapp, and not since recorded in the State. A number of species found in the 

 Clapp collection are in similar case. Their disappearance from our flora empha- 

 sizes the importance of continuous regional study in order that we may have more 

 accurate knowledge of plant movements. 



Solidac/o peliolaris Ait. Specimens by Baird and Taylor from Clark county 

 have been referred to this species. The specimens are not entirely satisfactory, 

 but there seems no doubt of the accuracy of the reference. The plant entered the 

 State Hora from the southwest. 



Solidago odora Ait. Gibson and Posey counties, Dr. J. Schneck. "Sandy 

 soils, scarce."'' Specimens have not been examined, but the species is admitted 

 for reasons indicated earlier in the paper. 



Solidago rupestris Raf. Reported from Clark county by Baird and Taylor. 

 The inclusion of Indiana in the range of this species in the 6th edition of the 

 Manual was doubtless based upon this collection. 



Brachyehcela cordata Torr. and Gray. Jefferson county. For full notes on 

 this form reference is made to Xo'eworthy Indiana P/ianerugams, in Proc. Ind. 

 Acad. Sci., 1895, p. 189. 



Senocarpus xolidagiiieits Xees. In the Clapp collections of 1834-37, from 

 Floyd county. It does not seem to have been recorded since that time. 



Aster macro phyUu>^ L. This form from the north is reported from Noble 

 county, by Mr. W. B. Van Gorder. 



Aster Drummondii Lindl. Reported as "frecjuent in low, open pastures and 

 prairies"" in Vigo county, by W. S. Blatchley. A western form very close to 

 A. s'igittifoliux Willd., and possibly a mere geographical variety.

" Blatchley, W. S. Composita; Vigo county. In ed. 

 * Since this was in type, Mr. \V. S. Blatchley, under date of September 26, 1897, i^endi* me- 

 abundant specimens of this form from Lake county. He reports itas " growing plentifully 

 over bushes on the mucky margin of a stream, four miles east of Hebron."
